    Tips

    November 14, 2022

    On the occasion of the newly designed Borg, which was inaugurated in 2013, the artist Frantz Wittkamp created a bronze sculpture in the form of a chair, the "Chair for Happiness".
    The chair is adorned with the typical and always tongue-in-cheek Wittkamp poems. In keeping with the object, the following can be read on the seat: “Luck has come to visit, saw a nice chair and sat down on the spot. Now it sits there and doesn't want to go". Or on the back of the backrest: "The snail can't jump. The snail cannot sing. She doesn't know how to speak English. But that doesn't make her sad."
    There are other poems by the artist on the chair, but if you really want to take a look at all the verses worked into the object, you can't avoid lying down on the floor... (Source: lhmarketing)
